I have a goal to lose 5 inches off my waist and make more muscle. I dont know if this is a effective way of going about it but here it goes.

Im going to start taking HOT-ROX Extreme and i bought some TRIBEX so i can get my testosterone up. I am a FFB (Former Fat Boy) my nexy post will have some stats such as measurements and weight and all that.

Cottage Cheese? Eggs? You can get a shit ton of whey protein at a local store for half the price of Metabolic Drive if you’re hurtin for cash.

That wheat bread won’t get you where you want to be either. Get your carbs from vegetables: spinach, broccoli, etc.

Nothing is forever but I do not understand why people do not think you can eat the same things for extended periods. As long as it is balanced and satisfies MACRO requirements you can eat the same things for a very long time.

i’d love to see some more total body sessions… and i’d recommend not splitting things up further than and upper body day and a lower body day. Hell, if you did like: Upper, Lower, Rest, Total Body Training, Rest, T.B.T, Rest… you’d be set, I’d think. Most of the workouts are total body (and focus on compound lifts. Any workout where you include, say, squats or deadlifts plus bench press plus a heavy rowing or pullup exercise will get you sweating).

Also, from one workout to the next, progress by decreasing rest intervals by 5 seconds (starting around a minute) instead of by adding weight. Once you get sufficiently low in length of rest intervals, add weight and go back to 60 seconds.

And do circuits…

I’d say, in fact, that you might consider taking a look at the programs recommended with the VDiet, which I find to be quite good (and are designed for fat loss). They DEFINITELY beat you up real nice…

At the very least, move your leg day in the middle of all the upper body work. You are not gonna have fun doing chest, back, shoulders and arms right in a row. Especially back and shoulders. Perhaps think about combining days.

Make sure you’re eating enough though (and protein), add up those calories and make sure it’s a reasonable amount for your bodyweight/height.

As far as eating the same thing every day for a while, i’d almost recommend it. Gets you into a disciplined mindset and makes it easy to count calories. Then you can start developing options when you start getting sick of stuff.

Also, if you’re just starting you MAY put on some muscle while you’re in your weight loss phase but I would NOT count on it. Quickest way to your goal is probably to hit your weight loss goal first and then bulk up from there - you could bulk up first and then hit weight loss but if you’re trying to lose 5 inches off your waist you’re probably not at a BF% where most people would recommend bulking.
